You have to have the box checked and you be at or below 500 m and whomever is trying to peek has to be above the 500 m level. Anyone within the 500 m area is able to be dealt with via the security orb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiona Nova Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well, if you don't believe me, you can try it with your alt or a neighbour. The height was 590m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whirly Fizzle Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Be aware of this gotcha when testing & using the parcel privacy feature - how it works depends on whether you have an empty parcel ban list or not. BUG-37601 - Parcel privacy only works as expected when at least one agent is on the parcel ban list 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2Pandora Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Okay so on to what @AngieRath is talking about. I had tested the height and view in other places and it worked. I was unable to see people from even 50m away, however the parcel I got in Belli last night I can see from over at least 150m away(I stopped there because f it). Would it have something to do with Bell's region settings? Though if others are working it fine as I do elsewhere, then i'm totally stumped. Edit: Oh, thanks for bringing that up, @Whirly Fizzle! The other places I tested do in fact have people on the ban list(ex-neighbor's nosy 1-night-stands or bots). I'll grab a bot name from my rented place and see what happens. Okay, yes, that made it so that I cannot view from 50m+. You're awesome, Whirly. 😃 Edited May 22, 2019 by s2Pandora 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have someone on your ban list? If not, you should try adding someone and seeing if it works for you before dismissing what Whirly said. Who knows, it might solve your issue. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested it with my fiance, who is clearly not banned, haha.. He stood in the house, I moved myself up to 80-400m, and was unable to see him below(this would be the same 500m+ as our home parcel is set this same way now, and I was unable to see him). I added a bot name to my banned list as Whirly stated. Before doing so, I could see my boyfriend below. After, I could not. With the privacy set so avatars off parcel can't see you, your neighbors shouldn't be able to see you either unless they are on the ground, waltz on to your property, and see you in the 15 seconds before kick.

But it is not my personal problem. I think a lot of people here don't understand exactly what I mean. Of course you are excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't really have anything to do with privacy. You might test for yourself to see, but I’m pretty sure it’s been posted that this is not the case. When a parcel has "hide avatars in this parcel" enabled, the parcel gets divided into two sections by height. Ground level + some height. (probably the same height as ban lines) Anything above #1. Let's say that #1 is up to 100 meters. If you are at 101 meters or higher, you can't see anyone at 100 meters or lower. However you can see everybody above you, no matter how high they are. I deal with this often, so I guarantee that this is the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
